Additional Information

Published prices are based upon pickup at Dogwood Ceramic Supply's warehouse in Gulfport MS. Customer is responsible for any UPS or freight charges to their location. See note regarding UPS shipments of casting slips. Dogwood Ceramic Supply strongly recommends all slip quantities greater than 10 boxes to be shipped via motor freight to minimize handling costs and potential for damages during shipping.

Slip can not freeze, and all small package and freight carriers refuse to warrant their shipments against freezing damage. Therefore, it is recommended that slip NOT be shipped during the winter season if the day time high temperature at the location of the customer or any freight servicing terminal between the shipping point and and the customer is below 28°F.

Dogwood Ceramic Supply has a loading area and provides forklift service to load quantities of slip. If the customer is unable to accept palletized loads, the customer is responsible for off-loading the slip from the pallet into their vehicle.

Notes:
Standard Slips are labeled in compliance with ASTM D-4235 and certified NON-TOXIC. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for Standard Clay's Moist Clay Bodies are published on Standard's website.

Decorating options:
Casting time for Standard's White Stoneware Slip is typically 20 to 30 minutes, depending upon the size and design of the mold and the desired thickness. For most stoneware designs a thickness of 4 to 6mm (¼ inch) would be ideal. The Duncan 80a mold used for Dogwood's showroom and web samples took just over 15 minutes to produce a nice thickness casting. Spectrum 1100 series Stoneware Glazes were used to decorate the blue sample.

Cleaning/preparation of cast items can be either by traditional greenware method, or the ware may be soft fired to Cone 020 and then cleaned.
Standard's White Stoneware Slip is a very versatile clay product that has a virtually unlimited number of possible decorating techniques. Items cast in Standard's White Stoneware Slip can be decorated much in the same manner as any high fire clay body with application of underglazes on greenware or bisque as well high fire glazes.
